West African Resources (ASX: WAF) has extended the Sartenga discovery strike length to over 2.5 kilometres, which is part of the Boulsa Project in Burkina Faso.
Boulsa covers 6,370 square kilometres and 200 kilometres of strike length of early Proterozoic Birimian greenstone belts which are highly prospective for gold mineralisation.
Highlighting the strategic location of the project, it is located immediately along strike from Orezone Gold Corp’s 5.2 million ounce gold Bomboré Deposit.
Extending the Sartenga strike
The latest oxide results confirm the strike at over 2.5 kilometres in shallow aircore drilling, while SDH015 on Section 7 confirms primary sulphide mineralisation is more than 150 metres wide on Section 7.
Importantly for the potential to further extend, mineralisation is still open along and across strike, and at depth.
West African Resources now plan to accelerate the resource drill-out with additional contract reverse circulation and deep diamond drilling in combination with the company-owned drill fleet already working at Sartenga
